Another tour of my chicken tractor

gmc59ful - the lumber for the roof is (1) 1x4x8 on top, (2) 1x6x8 next, and then on each side, (3) 1x6x8 boards screwed together. At its apex, the coop is approximately 45 inches give or take a few. I can't find the exact measurements at this moment. Hope that helps!

The ladder is raised to lock the hens in at night, thereby adding another protection for them against raccoons or other critters should they manage to get through the wire on the lower run.

Hey CatawbaConvetiCoop, thank you so much. Please, by all means, post this to your website. :) I'm delighted with your design and would love for you to share this illustration of your work.

And what size lumber did you use for the roof?

How tall is your chicken tractor?

Beautiful Kristen! Can I put this up on the Catawbacoops website?

If there is one thing I like, it is clever design. This is the inspiration for my next family project. Thank You from Down Under.

Looks like the perfect size for a 4 hen setup.
